American Horror Story continues to revamp itself in its second season. The latest change? The show’s title!

FX announced Wednesday that the “new chapter” of the spooky anthology will be called American Horror Story: Asylum.

Series co-creator and executive producer Ryan Murphy explained the change in a statement Wednesday. “We picked Asylum because it not only describes the setting – an insane asylum run by Jessica Lange’s character which was formerly a tuberculosis ward – but also signifies a place of haven for the unloved and the unwanted,” he said. “This year’s theme is about sanity and tackling real life horrors.”

Season 2 of Horror Story — which stars returning players Lange, Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Lily Rabe and Zachary Quinto as well as fresh faces James Cromwell, Joseph Fiennes, Franka Potente, Jenna Dewan and Clea Duvall — is slated to launch in October.

• CBS has pulled its new dating series 3 from the schedule after just two airings. Repeats of the Eye Network’s dramas will occupy the Sunday-night time slot until fall.

The creator of that show said he regretted changing the name for the second produced season, because it confused so many viewers, and of course DVRs didn’t know it was a continuation of the first season.

Amazing Race numbers their seasons in the title too, and I freaking hate it because I always have to remember to set my DVR to re-record the new season every time it comes on. And I rarely watch CBS so I never know when it’s coming back until I’ve already missed a few episodes.

I hate this AHS decision. I feel that it is solely in response to the Emmy flack the network has received. The elegance of the phrase American Horror Story was how it could apply to multiple scenarios within our national culture. Adding a banal subtitle is unnecessary and unappealing. It was clearly pursued solely to distinguish the show as a “mini-series,” which it is not. It is an annual anthology drama.
